For my part I can only encourage you to work to
educate vo.WP that they have
a common responsibilty with the other Wikipedias.
Well I tried to do this. Maybe not long enough...
I don't know how long you have been working on this
but here is yardstick from my experiences. I began
seriously working on the en.WP policy of blocking
non-latin usernames in Oct 2006 [1]. The issue was not
completely settled by that community in favor of
allowing editors to have non-latin usernames till
January 2007 [2]. These things do take time.
If you show
some flexability on your part I
imagine you can get the existing
admins to delete to worst of the pages you are
concerned about and set-up a
plan for improving the rest.
I hoped people do actually read my invitation in the
very top of my request:
"I therefore ask for adminship rights in Volapük
Wikipedia ____or any other
appropriate measure___ in order to remove the
articles from Volapük
Wikipedia, which were not written or substantially
expanded by humans."
I even reiterated this in a discussion thread on
this proposal in meta.
I cannot do more than asking people to brainstorm
about efficient ways how to
solve this whole mess if they even disagree that
there is a huge mess.
How can I proceed with discussing point 2 if people
even don't agree at point
1?
It is generally hard to sucessfully brainstorm once
voting is setup. All the same there does seem to be
some brainstorming of alternate solutions going on
within your proposal page. [3] [4] So I do not think
it is so hopeless.
